Legacy
DCS replacement modernizes gas
plant control system
Barry D. Payne &
Associates, Inc. recently
completed loop cutover and
commissioning support to replace
a legacy DCS at a gas plant in
Oklahoma. The control
system upgrade included redundant
fiber networks between
distributed control panels to
best re-use existing field wiring
at several DCS panel
locations. The new control
system includes multiple
controllers for process units,
electric compressors, and a plant
shutdown system, where each
redundant controller is connected
over Ethernet to centralized
operator workstations. The
installed condition of the legacy
DCS required a plant shutdown to
de-terminate field loops
connected directly to the
existing input/output
modules. A BDP team of
engineers and technicians
provided 24/7 support for loop
re-wiring and commissioning,
while working closely with plant
operations to minimize overall
downtime.
The
control system upgrade also
included new UPS equipment,
selected field device upgrades,
installation of additional gas
detectors, and network extensions
to setup remote operator
workstations outside the plant
battery limits. BDP Inc.
provided full-scope services for
this control system upgrade,
including equipment procurement,
panel assembly, programming &
test of the new control system,
plus equipment installation and
cutover support. Contact BDP Inc. for more
information on similar control
system services and process
control improvements to enhance
your plant operations today.
